Jim Volpenhein didn't make the final cut at last week's British Senior Open Championship, but the experience of playing golf on one of its biggest stages alongside the world's best 50-over professionals left the local legend feeling exhilarated.

"It was overwhelming playing with some of the biggest names in front of all those people, and a dream come true," said Volpenhein, a member at Traditions and Triple Crown. "I'd never been over there in the cradle of golf, and it's a completely different experience than playing in America."
